Question

Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that
it acquires an initial velocity of 1.6 m/s parallel to the ground.
Upon contact with the bat, the ball is 1.2 m above the ground.
Payer B wishes to duplicate this bunt, in so far as he also wants
to give the ball a velocity parallel to the ground and have his
ball travel the same horizontal distance as player A's ball does.
However, player B hits the ball when it is 2 m above the ground.
What is the magnitude of the initial velocity that player B's ball
must be given?
